As someone who has done both lolita and cosplay, let me explain something to you: having a "themed coord" would be akin to a normie wearing a tee shirt depicting a certain holiday/character/whatever. Instead of just a tee shirt, tho, the lolita will stylishly and skillfully incorporate elements of said subject (holiday/character/whatever) into all parts of her outfit. But it's still an outfit meant to be worn as daily wear. There are a few times of the year when the line gets a little blurry (like during the high holy lolita holidays of Halloween and Easter), and OTT may seem like a costume, but that's like a normie dressing up extra nice for a wedding or something. Yes, wigs are involved, but not shiny unnaturally colored wigs.
A costume is a costume. You are dressing AS THAT CHARACTER. It's a lovely cosplay, and I totally get the brown shoes because I'm a vintage toy enthusiast also. But this isn't a dress you would wear to the mall, or out for coffee, or in your daily life. It's not intended to be anything but a costume dress. And with the big poofy hat that is especially not something a lolita would wear. That's the difference.
